BLU

Imaging if a terrorist attack happen tomorrow and the U.S have it mission readyness, 24hr lift command,,how long will it take the Dominican armed force to be at the scene to provide support?

72hrs 1 weeks 2 weeks 1 months? i dont think DR have the capabilities for rapid respond, the ships, aircraft or personnel..you are right this is symbolic but it feel like a slat on the face for such organization that wish to be at some kind of international standard.

this is what I think about the usa, they're lazy, sick inside, sick outside, fat, love drugs, most are gay, that's why they think is normal and they think they own the universe, why do u think they spend so much money looking for intelligent life on other planets.
